Description of the Plans General The accompanying financial statements of those National Service Industries (the "Company" or "NSI") 401(k) and Retirement Plans listed in the accompanying financial statements (the "Plans") are commingled in the National Service Industries, Inc. Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the "NSI DC Trust"). The Plans are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Refer to the respective summary plan description or plan agreement for additional information about the Plans' funding, allocation, vesting, and benefit provisions. Eligibility Each of the Plans is a defined contribution plan. The Plans cover substantially all salaried, commissioned, union and nonunion hourly employees of the Company with at least one year of service, as defined, and who have attained the specified minimum age requirements. Administration The responsibility for administration of the Plans rests with the Plan's retirement committee, which is appointed by the board of directors of NSI. All administrative expenses of the Plans were paid by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2000. Plan Termination Although the Company intends for the Plans to be permanent, the Plans provide that the Company has the right to discontinue contributions or to terminate the Plans at any time. In the event of the plan termination, each participant shall be 100% vested in the balance of his/her account and his/her proportionate share of any future adjustments or forfeitures. Investment in NSI Common Stock As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, approximately 5.0% and 3.7%, respectively, of the NSI DC Trust's net assets were invested in the common stock of NSI, a party in interest to the Plans. 5 1. Description of the Plans (continued) Funding Policy The basis for determining participant (pre-tax) and employer contributions is as follows: Participant Plan Name Contributions Employer Contributions - ------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Selig Chemical Industries 2% to 15% of 5% of net profits allocated on up to $40,000 Retirement Plan compensation of compensation to participants making elective deferrals Zep Manufacturing Company Profit 1% to 15% of 5% of net profits plus an amount which Sharing/401(k) Retirement Plan compensation represents the same percentage of total annual compensation of all hourly paid Plan participants as the 5% of net profits bears to total annual compensation of salaried and commissioned Plan participants. This amount is multiplied by a fraction representing the relationship between annual compensation of all salaried, commissioned, and nonunion hourly or union qualifying participants to the annual compensation of all qualifying participants. Contribution applies to up to $40,000 of qualifying participant compensation. Additional discretionary contributions are permitted Lithonia Lighting Profit Sharing 1% to 15% of 50% of participant contribution up to 6% of and Retirement Plan for compensation compensation; Profit sharing contribution of Salaried Employees 2% of net profits less the matching contribution made if net profits exceed $6 million National Service Industries 1% to 15% of 50% of participant contribution up to 6% of Retirement and 401(k) Plan compensation compensation; additional discretionary profit sharing permitted National Linen Service Retirement 1% to 15% of Not applicable and 401(k) Plan for Eligible compensation Associates National Linen Service Retirement 1% to 15% of 50% of participant contribution up to 4% of and 401(k) Plan for Eligible compensation compensation; additional discretionary profit Management Associates sharing contribution permitted AECO Employees' 401(k) Retirement 1% to 15% of 50% of participant contribution up to 4% of and Savings Plan compensation compensation Lithonia Lighting 401(k) Plan for 1% to 15% of Not applicable Hourly Employees compensation Enforcer Products 401(k) Plan 1% to 15% of Discretionary match and profit sharing compensation contribution 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Plans are maintained by the trustee, AMVESCAP National Trust Company, on the cash basis of accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting by application of memorandum entries. 6 Investments The investments in the NSI DC Trust are subject to certain administrative guidelines and limitations as to the type and amount of securities held. Certain fund assets are allocated to selected independent investment managers to invest under these guidelines. Investments of the NSI DC Trust, except for the guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), are stated at fair value, as determined by the trustee from quoted market prices. Securities traded on a national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year; investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on the last day of the plan year are valued at the last reported bid price. GICs are subject to credit risk based on the ability of the issuers to meet interest or principal payments, or both, as they become due. Certain GICs included in the NSI DC Trust are synthetic; that is, the NSI DC Trust owns certain fixed income securities and the contract issuer provides a "wrapper" that guarantees a fixed rate of return and provides benefit responsiveness. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair values of the underlying assets of the synthetic GICs (as determined from quoted market prices) were $36,352,000 and $38,326,000 respectively, and the values of the related wrapper contracts were $(556,000) and $712,000. GICs included in the NSI DC Trust are fully benefit-responsive and are therefore carried at contract value (cost plus accrued interest) by the NSI DC Trust in accordance with SOP 94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts held by Health and Welfare Benefit plans and Defined-Contribution Pension Plans." At December 31, 2000 and 1999, contract value approximated fair value. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the weighted average crediting interest rates, which are reset periodically during the year, were 6.25% and 6.18%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the annual yields on the GICs held by the NSI DC Trust were 6.48% and 6.40%, respectively. For certain of the GICs held by the NSI DC Trust, crediting interest rates may be changed if certain events occur, such as early retirements and plant closings, but in no case are adjusted to a rate less than 0%. During June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS 137 defers the effective date of SFAS 133 to years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 will require the Plans to recognize all derivatives at fair value on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Management of the Plans is evaluating SFAS 133 and, due to the Plans' minimal use of derivatives, does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material impact on the financial statements. 7 Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact on the Plans' net assets available for benefits. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. NSI DC Trust The NSI DC Trust is a collective investment of the assets of participating employee benefit plans of the Company. Fund assets are allocated among participating plans by assigning to each plan those transactions (primarily contributions and benefit payments) which can be specifically identified and allocating among all plans, in proportion to the fair value of the assets assigned to each plan, income and expenses resulting from the collective investment of the assets of the Fund. The following table presents the fair value of net assets of the NSI DC Trust: December 31 -------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 -------------------- ------------------- Mutual Funds $142,891,385 $150,101,844 Common/collective trusts 50,678,595 61,734,231 Guaranteed investment contracts 25,441,721 23,360,507 NSI common stock 14,092,908 11,026,746 Loans receivable from participants 7,767,946 7,942,464 Cash equivalents 5,357,101 4,873,957 Accrued investment income 21,854 23,712 Adjustments for pending trades 109,351 219,969 Accrued expenses and other (26,727) (28,248) Corporate debt instruments 8,932,327 7,837,797 U.S. Government securities 6,745,890 8,011,683 103-12 Investment entities 20,515,124 19,132,772 Other - 3,343,500 Synthetic guaranteed investment contract wrappers (556,146) 712,287 -------------------- ------------------- Net Assets $281,971,329 $298,293,221 ==================== =================== 8 3. NSI DC Trust (continued) Investment results of the NSI DC Trust for the year ended December 31, 2000 are as follows: Interest income $ 4,412,830 Dividends on NSI common stock 595,417 Net depreciation in fair value of NSI common stock (815,719) Net loss from common/collective trusts (1,167,483) Net loss from mutual funds (14,660,657) -------------------- Investment results ($11,635,612) ===================== 4. Income Tax Status All of the Plans, except for Plan Nos. 067 and 068 (see below), have individually received determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") stating that the Plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plans are required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain their qualification. The Plan Sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plans' qualified status. Plan Nos. 067 and 068, Lithonia Lighting 401(k) Plan for Hourly Employees and Enforcer Products 401(k) Plan, respectively, have not received a determination letter from the IRS stating that the Plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. The Plan Sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plans' qualified status. 5. Nonparticipant-Directed Fund Information Certain Plans in the NSI DC Trust provide for nonparticipant-directed funds. Such funds are invested in NSI common stock. The following represents the net assets available for benefits of the nonparticipant-directed portion of the Plans as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000: 9 5.
